CX/KA... Best and Worst crew Hotels
 

As I like to think of my self as an optimist, I'll start with the best first....

Best... Melbourne. Great rooms (especially if they give you a suite), good location (walking distance from the MCG)

Worst... Where to start? I'm sure the Captains will disagree, as they stay in the new wing but, for me this title goes to Bangkok. :mad: Rooms (this really only applies to the old wing), my last room had cockroaches and smelt like :yuk: . Crap location... nowhere near town and now up to an hour and a half in traffic to the new airport.

I'm sure everyone has there best/worst, so lets hear it! Would especially like to hear from the KA crew on the state of the China hotels.

Best... Frankfurt , breakie by the river has been known to take 2 hours! :ok: not to mention the local amber tonic/pigs knuckle vendors :D


Worst Vancouver , by a long shot! :yuk: the only saving grace being the very short walk to the foggy dew :}

BEST : Toss up between Frankfurt , Dubai and Melbourne (probably should not put the good ones up , they would certainly get changed to a Best Western ie Seoul


WORST : Tokyo for sure , the rest aren't even in the contest ( i have stayed in run down Aboriginal quest house with better standards than that hotel )

Best: Frankfurt/Mainz.

Worst: most of the other ones, in particular LAX, LON - real ****holes.

Get some sleep.
Y

which ones do you guys stay at in yvr? i'm surprised that cx actually house you guys in a bad hotel, seeing there are barely any bad hotels in the area!

pm me if you feel more appropriate

ps. yeager, is your first name chuck? :) ok my appologies, that was lame.

:\

TPE....

:{ please dont make me go!!!!

what a :mad: dump.......

Best from memory FRA as agreed above.

Worst, don't get me started... TPE, both are woeful. Haven't been to YVR, but it sounds way below acceptable. Last time in LHR was appalling too.

Trouble is the guy who chooses the hotels is not a pilot, rarely stays overnight in the hotel and is interested only in price. No Association input is accepted.

Like the way a few years ago he put us and the cabin crew in a place in LAX that on one side was a very dangerous part of town to walk around, especially after dark. That was reeeeal smart.

TPE is one of the better hotels on the KA network.

No, trouble is we don't have a say...period!:\

WTF!!!!...........TPE one of the better ones on the KA network.

You can't be serious. ****e hotel, in ****e location. Would rather stay in any other KA hotel than this one.

Best. PVG. 5star hotel, free food and grog in Executive Lounge. Close to many, many nice pubs and resturants.

A330dryver, when Doris reads your post, expect another slice of your PVG allowances. Wise man !! :ugh:

JNB Hotel - worst IMHO.

OK accomodation, but in a very dangerous area. Pimps & hookers outside the gate, drug deals on the street, "taxi wars" (AK-47 shootouts) outside the gates, car-jackings, chaotic traffic...it's just a matter of time before a crew member gets caught up in the mayhem.

Thanks Old China Hand, some people just cant resist the opportunity for a dig on an otherwise friendly thread. :confused:

Oh and Doris ( because I bet you spend most of your time reading pprune:hmm: ) please don't take my allowances away.

There..........everyones happy!:)

worst : HEADLAND....:}

JNB....
 

Sounds like PEK...... :ouch:

The PARK INN in London. Now that's a dump!!!

FRA by far is the nicest one. Nice location, great food, nice rooms. German TV can get on your nerves though, I find.

PAR, on the other hand, I'm always reminded to take the ****tiest bag I've got just in case someone wants to slash it open while I'm out on the piss.

The PARK INN in London. Now that's a dump!!!

Don't worry, you won't be staying there much longer.

Knutsford

Why?? Is there a rumour that we are moving?

Yep about the middle of March to some place closer to town.
